Problem
Conventional hydraulic hammers used in construction and mining are energy-intensive, produce significant CO2 emissions, and offer limited adjustability in impact energy and frequency. These limitations hinder sustainability efforts and restrict the adaptability of hammering operations to varying material conditions.
Solution
Lekatech provides linear electric motor technology for hammering applications, offering up to 70% greater energy efficiency and zero local CO2 emissions compared to traditional hydraulic systems. Their electric hammers enable precise, independent adjustment of impact energy and frequency, allowing operators to optimize performance for specific tasks and materials. The LEKA Toras 35 model, based on this technology, delivers twice the blow impact energy of conventional hammers while significantly reducing oil consumption. This technology facilitates the electrification of carrier machines and promotes digitalization in hammering processes.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes companies in the construction, earthmoving, quarrying, and mining industries seeking more sustainable, efficient, and controllable hammering solutions.
